Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of embodiments of embodiments herein, the preferred methods, devices, and materials are now described. All publications mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Nothing herein is to be construed as an admission that embodiments herein are not entitled to antedate such disclosure by virtue of prior invention.

It must also be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to an “ITK inhibitor” is a reference to one or more ITK inhibitor and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth.

The term “about,” as used herein, is intended to qualify the numerical values which it modifies, denoting such a value as variable within a margin of error. When no particular margin of error, such as a standard deviation to a mean value given in a chart or table of data, is recited, the term “about” should be understood to mean plus or minus 10% of the numerical value of the number with which it is being used. Therefore, about 50% means in the range of 45%-55%.

In embodiments or claims where the term “comprising” is used as the transition phrase, such embodiments can also be envisioned with replacement of the term “comprising” with the terms “consisting of” or “consisting essentially of.”

As used herein, the term “consists of” or “consisting of” means that the pharmaceutical composition, composition or the method includes only the elements, steps, or ingredients specifically recited in the particular claimed embodiment or claim.

As used herein, the term “consisting essentially of” or “consists essentially of” means that the pharmaceutical composition, or the method includes only the elements, steps or ingredients specifically recited in the particular claimed embodiment or claim and may optionally include additional elements, steps or ingredients that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the particular embodiment or claim. For example, the only active ingredient(s) in the composition or method that treats the specified condition (e.g., nutrient depletion) is the specifically recited therapeutic(s) in the particular embodiment or claim.

As used herein, two embodiments are “mutually exclusive” when one is defined to be something which is different from the other. For example, an embodiment wherein two groups combine to form a cycloalkyl is mutually exclusive with an embodiment in which one group is ethyl the other group is hydrogen. Similarly, an embodiment wherein one group is CH2 is mutually exclusive with an embodiment wherein the same group is NH.

Any definition herein may be used in combination with any other definition to describe a composite structural group. By convention, the trailing element of any such definition is that which attaches to the parent moiety. For example, the composite group alkylamido would represent an alkyl group attached to the parent molecule through an amido group, and the term alkoxyalkyl would represent an alkoxy group attached to the parent molecule through an alkyl group.

When a group is defined to be “null,” what is meant is that said group is absent.

The term “optionally substituted” means the anteceding group may be substituted or unsubstituted. When substituted, the substituents of an “optionally substituted” group may include, without limitation, one or more substituents independently selected from the following groups or a particular designated set of groups, alone or in combination: lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl, lower alkanoyl, lower heteroalkyl, lower heterocycloalkyl, lower haloalkyl, lower haloalkenyl, lower haloalkynyl, lower perhaloalkyl, lower perhaloalkoxy, lower cycloalkyl, phenyl, aryl, aryloxy, lower alkoxy, lower haloalkoxy, oxo, lower acyloxy, carbonyl, carboxyl, lower alkylcarbonyl, lower carboxyester, lower carboxamido, cyano, hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, amino, lower alkylamino, arylamino, amido, nitro, thiol, lower alkylthio, lower haloalkylthio, lower perhaloalkylthio, arylthio, sulfonate, sulfonic acid, trisubstituted silyl, N3, SH, SCH3, C(O)CH3, CO2CH3, CO2H, pyridinyl, thiophene, furanyl, lower carbamate, and lower urea. Where structurally feasible, two substituents may be joined together to form a fused five-, six-, or seven-membered carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring consisting of zero to three heteroatoms, for example forming methylenedioxy or ethylenedioxy. An optionally substituted group may be unsubstituted (e.g., —CH2CH3), fully substituted (e.g., —CF2CF3), monosubstituted (e.g., —CH2CH2F) or substituted at a level anywhere in-between fully substituted and monosubstituted (e.g., —CH2CF3). Where substituents are recited without qualification as to substitution, both substituted and unsubstituted forms are encompassed. Where a substituent is qualified as “substituted,” the substituted form is specifically intended. Additionally, different sets of optional substituents to a particular moiety may be defined as needed; in these cases, the optional substitution will be as defined, often immediately following the phrase, “optionally substituted with.”

The term R or the term R′, appearing by itself and without a number designation, unless otherwise defined, refers to a moiety chosen from hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocycloalkyl, any of which may be optionally substituted. Such R and R′ groups should be understood to be optionally substituted as defined herein. Whether an R group has a number designation or not, every R group, including R, R′ and Rn where n=(1, 2, 3, . . . n), every substituent, and every term should be understood to be independent of every other in terms of selection from a group. Should any variable, substituent, or term (e.g. aryl, heterocycle, R, etc.) occur more than one time in a formula or generic structure, its definition at each occurrence is independent of the definition at every other occurrence. Those of skill in the art will further recognize that certain groups may be attached to a parent molecule or may occupy a position in a chain of elements from either end as written. For example, an unsymmetrical group such as —C(O)N(R)— may be attached to the parent moiety at either the carbon or the nitrogen.

Stereogenic centers exist in the compounds disclosed herein. These centers are designated by the symbols “R” or “S,” depending on the configuration of substituents around the stereogenic center. It should be understood that the invention encompasses all stereoisomeric forms, including diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms, as well as d-isomers and l-isomers, and mixtures thereof. Individual stereoisomers of compounds can be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials which contain defined stereochemical configurations or by separation of mixtures of stereoisomeric products by conversion to a mixture of diastereomers followed by separation or recrystallization, chromatographic techniques, direct separation of stereoisomers by chiral chromatographic columns, or any other appropriate method known in the art. Starting compounds of particular configurations are either commercially available or can be made and resolved by techniques known in the art. Additionally, the compounds disclosed herein may exist as geometric isomers. The present invention includes all cis, trans, syn, anti, endo, exo entgegen (E), and zusammen (Z) isomers as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. Additionally, compounds may exist as tautomers; all tautomeric isomers are provided by this invention. Additionally, the compounds disclosed herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms.

Compounds described herein may contain one or more stereogenic centers and may thus exists as stereoisomers. Embodiments herein includes all such possible stereoisomers as substantially pure resolved stereoisomers, racemic mixtures thereof, as well as mixtures of diastereomers. In some embodiments, the formulas are shown without a definitive stereochemistry at certain positions. In other embodiments, the compounds are isolated as single stereoisomers, but the absolute configurations of the stereogenic centers are unknown or only the relative stereochemical configuration (i.e., cis or trans isomerism) is known. In such embodiments, the formulas are shown with provisionally assigned absolute assignments to denote that they are single stereoisomers and relative stereochemical configuration is likewise described. Embodiments herein include all stereoisomers of such formulas and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Diastereoisomeric pairs of enantiomers may be separated by, for example, fractional crystallization from a suitable solvent, and the pair of enantiomers thus obtained may be separated into individual stereoisomers by conventional means, for example by the use of an optically active acid or base as a resolving agent or on a chiral HPLC column. Further, any stereoisomer of a compound of the general formula may be obtained by stereospecific or stereoselective synthesis using optically pure or enantioenriched starting materials or reagents of known configuration. The scope of embodiments herein as described and claimed encompasses the racemic forms of the compounds as well as the individual enantiomers, diastereomers, stereoisomers and stereoisomer-enriched mixtures.

Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable enantioenriched or optically pure precursors or resolution of the racemate using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Alternatively, the racemate (or a racemic precursor) may be reacted with a suitable optically active compound, for example, an alcohol, or, in the case where the compound contains an acidic or basic moiety, an acid or base such as tartaric acid or 1-phenylethylamine. The resulting diastereomeric mixture may be separated by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization and one or both of the diastereoisomers converted to the corresponding pure enantiomer(s) by means well known to one skilled in the art. Chiral compounds of embodiments herein (and chiral precursors thereof) may be obtained in enantiomerically-enriched form using chromatography, typically HPLC, on an asymmetric resin with a mobile phase consisting of a hydrocarbon, typically heptane or hexane, containing from 0 to 50% isopropanol, typically from 2 to 20%, and from 0 to 5% of an alkylamine, typically 0.1% diethylamine. Concentration of the eluate affords the enriched mixture. Stereoisomer conglomerates may be separated by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds” by Ernest L. Eliel (Wiley, New York, 1994).

Atropisomers are stereoisomers resulting from hindered rotation about single bonds where the steric strain barrier to rotation is high enough to allow for the isolation of the conformers. Oki (Oki, M; Topics in Stereochemistry 1983, 1) defined atropisomers as conformers that interconvert with a half-life of more than 1000 seconds at a given temperature. The scope of embodiments herein as described and claimed encompasses the racemic forms of the compounds as well as the individual atropisomers (an atropisomer “substantially free” of its corresponding enantiomer) and stereoisomer-enriched mixtures, i.e. mixtures of atropisomers. Separation of atropisomers is possibly by chiral resolution methods such as selective crystallization. In an atropo-enantioselective or atroposelective synthesis one atropisomer is formed at the expense of the other. Atroposelective synthesis may be carried out by use of chiral auxiliaries like a Corey-Bakshi-Shibata (CBS) catalyst (asymmetric catalyst derived from proline) in the total synthesis of knipholone or by approaches based on thermodynamic equilibration when an isomerization reaction favors one atropisomer over the other.

As used herein, the term “a derivative thereof” refers to a salt thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, an ester thereof, a free acid form thereof, a free base form thereof, a solvate thereof, a co-crystal thereof, a deuterated derivative thereof, a hydrate thereof, an N-oxide thereof, a clathrate thereof, a prodrug thereof, a polymorph thereof, a stereoisomer thereof, a geometric isomer thereof, a tautomer thereof, a mixture of tautomers thereof, an enantiomer thereof, a diastereomer thereof, a racemate thereof, a mixture of stereoisomers thereof, an isotope thereof (e.g., tritium, deuterium), or a combination thereof.

By “pharmaceutically acceptable”, it is meant the carrier, diluent or excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt prepared from a base or acid which is acceptable for administration to a patient, such as a mammal. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” embraces salts commonly used to form alkali metal salts and to form addition salts of free acids or free bases. The nature of the salt is not critical, provided that it is pharmaceutically-acceptable. Such salts can be derived from pharmaceutically-acceptable inorganic or organic bases and from pharmaceutically-acceptable inorganic or organic acids.

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of embodiments herein may be prepared from an inorganic acid or an organic acid. All of these salts may be prepared by conventional means from the corresponding compound of embodiments herein by treating, for example, the compound with the appropriate acid or base.

Pharmaceutically acceptable acids include both inorganic acids, for example hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, carbonic, sulfuric, phosphoric and diphosphoric acid; and organic acids, for example formic, acetic, trifluoroacetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, embonic (pamoic), methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic, pantothenic, benzenesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, sulfanilic, mesylic, cyclohexylaminosulfonic, stearic, algenic, O-hydroxybutyric, malonic, galactic, galacturonic, citric, fumaric, gluconic, glutamic, lactic, maleic, malic, mandelic, mucic, ascorbic, oxalic, pantothenic, succinic, tartaric, benzoic, acetic, xinafoic (1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid), napadisilic (1,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid) and the like.

Salts derived from pharmaceutically-acceptable organic bases include salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, including alkyl amines, arylalkyl amines, heterocyclyl amines, cyclic amines, naturally-occurring amines and the like, such as arginine, betaine, caffeine, choline, chloroprocaine, diethanolamine, N-methylglucamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, diethylamine, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-ethylmorpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, glucamine, glucosamine, histidine, hydrabamine, isopropylamine, lysine, methylglucamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine, tromethamine and the like.

Other preferred salts according to embodiments herein are quaternary ammonium compounds wherein an equivalent of an anion (X—) is associated with the positive charge of the N atom. X— may be an anion of various mineral acids such as, for example, chloride, bromide, iodide, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate, or an anion of an organic acid such as, for example, acetate, maleate, fumarate, citrate, oxalate, succinate, tartrate, malate, mandelate, trifluoroacetate, methanesulphonate and p-toluenesulphonate. X— is preferably an anion selected from chloride, bromide, iodide, sulphate, nitrate, acetate, maleate, oxalate, succinate or trifluoroacetate. More preferably X— is chloride, bromide, trifluoroacetate or methanesulphonate.

In some embodiments, the salt is a hydrochloride salt. In some embodiments, the salt is besylate salt. In some embodiments, the salt is a trifluoroacetate salt.

The compounds of embodiments herein may exist in both unsolvated and solvated forms. The term solvate is used herein to describe a molecular complex comprising a compound of embodiments herein and an amount of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules. The term hydrate is employed when said solvent is water. Examples of solvate forms include, but are not limited to, compounds of embodiments herein in association with water, acetone, dichloromethane, 2-propanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), ethyl acetate, acetic acid, ethanolamine, or mixtures thereof. It is specifically contemplated that in embodiments herein one solvent molecule can be associated with one molecule of the compounds of embodiments herein, such as a hydrate.

Furthermore, it is specifically contemplated that in embodiments herein, more than one solvent molecule may be associated with one molecule of the compounds of embodiments herein, such as a dihydrate. Additionally, it is specifically contemplated that in embodiments herein less than one solvent molecule may be associated with one molecule of the compounds of embodiments herein, such as a hemihydrate. Furthermore, solvates of embodiments herein are contemplated as solvates of compounds of embodiments herein that retain the biological effectiveness of the non-solvate form of the compounds.

Embodiments herein also include isotopically-labeled compounds of embodiments herein, wherein one or more atoms is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of embodiments herein include isotopes of hydrogen, such as 2H and 3H, carbon, such as 11C, 13C and 14C, chlorine, such as 31Cl, fluorine, such as 18F, iodine, such as 123I and 125I, nitrogen, such as 13N and 15N, oxygen, such as 15O, 17O and 18O, phosphorus, such as 32P, and sulfur, such as 15S. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of embodiments herein, for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, 3H, and carbon-14, 14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as 11C, 18F, 15O and 13N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy.

Isotopically-labeled compounds of embodiments herein can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed.

Preferred isotopically-labeled compounds include deuterated derivatives of the compounds of embodiments herein. As used herein, the term deuterated derivative embraces compounds of embodiments herein where in a particular position at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by deuterium. Deuterium (D or 2H) is a stable isotope of hydrogen which is present at a natural abundance of 0.015 molar %.

Hydrogen deuterium exchange (deuterium incorporation) is a chemical reaction in which a covalently bonded hydrogen atom is replaced by a deuterium atom. Said exchange (incorporation) reaction can be total or partial.

Typically, a deuterated derivative of a compound of embodiments herein has an isotopic enrichment factor (ratio between the isotopic abundance and the natural abundance of that isotope, i.e. the percentage of incorporation of deuterium at a given position in a molecule in the place of hydrogen) for each deuterium present at a site designated as a potential site of deuteration on the compound of at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation).

In some embodiments, the isotopic enrichment factor is at least 5000 (75% deuterium). In some embodiments, the isotopic enrichment factor is at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation). In some embodiments, the isotopic enrichment factor is at least 6633.3 (99.5% deuterium incorporation). It is understood that the isotopic enrichment factor of each deuterium present at a site designated as a site of deuteration is independent from the other deuteration sites.

The isotopic enrichment factor can be determined using conventional analytical methods known to one of ordinary skilled in the art, including mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

The term “prodrug” refers to a compound that is made more active in vivo. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are also within the scope of embodiments herein. Thus, certain derivatives of the compounds of embodiments herein, which derivatives may have little or no pharmacological activity themselves, when administered into or onto the body may be converted into compounds of embodiments herein having the desired activity, for example, by hydrolytic cleavage. Such derivatives are referred to as ‘prodrugs’. Further information on the use of prodrugs may be found in Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14, ACS Symposium Series (T. Higuchi and W. Stella) and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, Pergamon Press, 1987 (ed. E. B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association) or Hydrolysis in Drug and Prodrug Metabolism: Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Enzymology (Testa, Bernard and Mayer, Joachim M. Wiley-VHCA, Zurich, Switzerland 2003).

Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are structurally modified forms of the compound that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compound. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compound by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to a compound when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the compound, or parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent drug is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. A wide variety of prodrug derivatives are known in the art, such as those that rely on hydrolytic cleavage or oxidative activation of the prodrug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”), but then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity. Additional examples include peptidyl derivatives of a compound. Prodrugs in accordance with embodiments herein can, for example, be produced by replacing appropriate functionalities present in the compounds of embodiments herein with certain moieties known to those skilled in the art as ‘pro-moieties’ as described, for example, in Design of Prodrugs by H. Bundgaard (Elsevier, 1985).

The terms “excipient” and “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” as used herein are intended to be generally synonymous, and is used interchangeably with, the terms “carrier,” “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,” “diluent,” “pharmaceutically acceptable diluent.”

In the case of compounds of embodiments herein that are solids, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the inventive compounds and salts may exist in different crystalline or polymorphic forms, or in an amorphous form, all of which are intended to be within the scope of embodiments herein.

The compounds disclosed herein can exist as and therefore include all stereoisomers, conformational isomers and mixtures thereof in all proportions as well as isotopic forms such as deuterated compounds.

The term “bond” refers to a covalent linkage between two atoms, or two moieties when the atoms joined by the bond are considered to be part of larger substructure. A bond may be single, double, or triple unless otherwise specified. A dashed line between two atoms in a drawing of a molecule indicates that an additional bond may be present or absent at that position.

The term “disease” as used herein is intended to be generally synonymous, and is used interchangeably with, the terms “disorder,” “syndrome,” and “condition” (as in medical condition), in that all reflect an abnormal condition of the human or animal body or of one of its parts that impairs normal functioning, is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms, and causes the human or animal to have a reduced duration or quality of life.

The term “combination therapy” means the administration of two or more therapeutic agents to treat a therapeutic condition or disorder described in the present disclosure. Such administration encompasses co-administration of these therapeutic agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule having a fixed ratio of active ingredients or in multiple, separate capsules for each active ingredient. In addition, such administration also encompasses use of each type of therapeutic agent in a sequential manner. In either case, the treatment regimen will provide beneficial effects of the drug combination in treating the conditions or disorders described herein.

The term “ITK inhibitor” is used herein to refer to a compound that exhibits an IC50 with respect to ITK activity of no more than about 100 μM and more typically not more than about 50 μM, as measured in the ITK enzyme assay described generally herein. IC50 is that concentration of inhibitor that reduces the activity of an enzyme (e.g., ITK) to half-maximal level. Certain compounds disclosed herein have been discovered to exhibit inhibition against ITK. In certain embodiments, compounds will exhibit an IC50 with respect to ITK of no more than about M; in further embodiments, compounds will exhibit an IC50 with respect to ITK of no more than about 5 μM; in yet further embodiments, compounds will exhibit an IC50 with respect to ITK of not more than about 1 μM; in yet further embodiments, compounds will exhibit an IC50 with respect to ITK of not more than about 200 nM, as measured in the ITK binding assay described herein.

The term “immune checkpoint inhibitor” means a compound or pharmaceutical composition that inhibit immune checkpoint molecules.

“Administering” when used in conjunction with a therapeutic means to administer a therapeutic directly into or onto a target tissue or to administer a therapeutic to a patient whereby the therapeutic positively impacts the tissue to which it is targeted. Thus, as used herein, the term “administering”, when used in conjunction with a compound of embodiments herein, can include, but is not limited to, providing the compound into or onto the target tissue; providing the compound systemically to a patient by, e.g., intravenous injection whereby the therapeutic reaches the target tissue; providing the compound in the form of the encoding sequence thereof to the target tissue (e.g., by so-called gene-therapy techniques). “Administering” a composition may be accomplished by injection, topically, orally, or by any of these methods in combination with other known techniques.

The term “patient” is generally synonymous with the term “subject” and includes all mammals including humans. Examples of patients include humans, livestock such as cows, goats, sheep, pigs, and rabbits, and companion animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. Preferably, the patient is a human.

The phrase “therapeutically effective” is intended to qualify the amount of active ingredients used in the treatment of a disease or disorder or on the effecting of a clinical endpoint.

As used herein, the term “therapeutic” or “therapeutic agent” or “pharmaceutically active agent” means an agent utilized to treat, combat, ameliorate, prevent or improve an unwanted condition or disease of a patient. In part, embodiments of the present invention are directed to the treatment of ITK-mediated diseases.

A “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” of a composition is a predetermined amount calculated to achieve the desired effect, e.g., to inhibit, block, or reverse the activation, migration, or proliferation of cells. The activity contemplated by the present methods includes both medical therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment, as appropriate. The specific dose of a compound administered according to this invention to obtain therapeutic and/or prophylactic effects will, of course, be determined by the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, for example, the compound administered, the route of administration, and the condition being treated. The compounds are effective over a wide dosage range and, for example, dosages per day will normally fall within the range of from 0.001 to 10 mg/kg, more usually in the range of from 0.01 to 1 mg/kg. However, it will be understood that the effective amount administered will be determined by the physician in the light of the relevant circumstances including the condition to be treated, the choice of compound to be administered, and the chosen route of administration, and therefore the above dosage ranges are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. A therapeutically effective amount of compound of this invention is typically an amount such that when it is administered in a physiologically tolerable excipient composition, it is sufficient to achieve an effective systemic concentration or local concentration in the tissue.

The term “therapeutically acceptable” refers to those compounds, or a derivative thereof, which are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of patients without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic response, are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and are effective for their intended use.

The terms “treat,” “treated,” “treating”, or “treatment” as used herein refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) an undesired physiological condition, disorder or disease, or to obtain beneficial or desired clinical results. For the purposes of this invention, beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms; diminishment of the extent of the condition, disorder or disease; stabilization (i.e., not worsening) of the state of the condition, disorder or disease; delay in onset or slowing of the progression of the condition, disorder or disease; amelioration of the condition, disorder or disease state; and remission (whether partial or total, whether induction of or maintenance of), whether detectable or undetectable, or enhancement or improvement of the condition, disorder or disease. Treatment includes eliciting a clinically significant response without excessive levels of side effects. Treatment also includes prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. Treatment may also be preemptive in nature, i.e., it may include prevention of disease. Prevention of a disease may involve complete protection from disease, for example as in the case of prevention of infection with a pathogen, or may involve prevention of disease progression. For example, prevention of a disease may not mean complete foreclosure of any effect related to the diseases at any level, but instead may mean prevention of the symptoms of a disease to a clinically significant or detectable level. Prevention of diseases may also mean prevention of progression of a disease to a later stage of the disease and prolonging disease-free survival as compared to disease-free survival if not receiving treatment and prolonging disease-free survival as compared to disease-free survival if not receiving treatment.

Also provided is a compound chosen from the Examples disclosed herein. The compounds of embodiments herein may also refer to a salt thereof, an ester thereof, a free acid form thereof, a free base form thereof, a solvate thereof, a co-crystal thereof, a deuterated derivative thereof, a hydrate thereof, an N-oxide thereof, a clathrate thereof, a prodrug thereof, a polymorph thereof, a stereoisomer thereof, a geometric isomer thereof, a tautomer thereof, a mixture of tautomers thereof, an enantiomer thereof, a diastereomer thereof, a racemate thereof, a mixture of stereoisomers thereof, an isotope thereof (e.g., tritium, deuterium), or a combination of the foregoing of the compounds of embodiments herein.

The present disclosure relates to new pyrrolopyrimidine compounds and compositions, and their application as pharmaceuticals for the treatment of disease. Methods of inhibition of ITK activity in a human or animal subject are also provided for the treatment diseases such as those caused by inflammation.

The Tec (tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma) family of tyrosine kinases (TFTK) consists of five family members: Tec, BTK (Bruton's tyrosine kinase), BMX (bone marrow kinase on the X chromosome also known as ETK), RLK (resting lymphocyte kinase also known as TXK) and ITK (interleukin-2 inducible T cell kinase, also known as EMT and TSK). These kinases are central to the regulation of hematopoietic cell biology and more specifically the development and activity of lymphocytes and myeloid cells. The TFTK have structural similarities to other non-receptor tyrosine kinases while exhibiting some family specific motifs resulting in a diversity of domain structures associated with complex localization, scaffolding and activation mechanisms. Generally, TFTK contain an amino terminal plekstrin homology domain (PH domain) involved in lipid interactions and membrane targeting followed by a BTK homology domain (BH) that binds Zn2+ and an SH3 domain generally involved in proline rich domain binding. A phosphotyrosine binding SH2 domain and a carboxy terminal ATP binding kinase domain complete the TFTK structure. TFTK expression is generally limited to hematopoietic lineage cells with the exception of ETK and TEC that are expressed in the liver and endothelial cells, respectively. BMX is expressed in monocytes, granulocytes and cardiac endothelium while BTK is expressed in B cells and mast cells but not plasma cells and T cells. TEC, RLK and ITK are all expressed in T cells. To date the TFTK with the most clear biological role in T cells is ITK.

Antigen/MHC dependent activation of the T cell receptor (TCR) has been shown to transduce its signal through ITK. TCR stimulation results in the activation of the kinase LCK and subsequent phosphorylation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) on CD3 inducing the binding and activation of the kinase ZAP70. In turn, ZAP70 phosphorylates the adaptor proteins LAT and SLP-76, which together with LCK and other proteins forms a hetermultimeric signaling complex that activates PI3K and generates PIP3 on the plasma membrane. ITK binds to this signaling complex via SH2 and SH3 domains and to PIP3 through its PH domain, resulting in LCK dependent phosphorylation of ITK Y511 and subsequent ITK autophosphorylation of Y180. Activated ITK phosphorylates PLCγ1 that, once activated, hydrolyzes PIP2 to the second messengers IP3 and DAG. The cellular consequences of these sequelae of events include calcium mobilization and flux, PKC and MEK/ERK pathway activation, and transcriptional activation via APi, NFκactiv NFAT. As a critical enzyme in the TCR activation pathway ITK impacts T cell function in a number of ways including positive and negative selection, cellular differentiation, and cytokine production and release.

The role of ITK in T cell function has been delineated through genetic knockdown/kinase inactivation of the ITK gene in rodents and through characterizing human ITK mutant individuals. Mice with a null mutation of the itk gene expressed a decreased number of mature T cells and a block in thymocyte development as well as a decreased TCR driven T cell proliferative response. Interestingly IL2 and CD28 signaling as well as PMA/ionomycin driven responses remained unchanged, suggesting that the ITK response is membrane proximal and stimuli specific. It appears that ITK is responsible for amplification of TCR signaling versus an ‘on/off’ switch, as dual knockdown of the T cell expressing TFTK, ITK and RLK in mice produce a more complete TCR inactivation phenotype compared with ITK genetic deletion alone. In contrast to the modulatory effect that ITK appears to have on naïve T cell activation, it plays a more significant role in T helper cell differentiation. Several studies in ITK deficient mice have demonstrated a reduction in the Th2 protective response to parasitic infection. This reduced Th2 response was linked to a decrease in concentrations of Th2 cytokines IL4, IL5, IL13 and IL10 and to a reduction in RLK expression. In contrast to the ITK requirement for mounting Th2 driven responses, its impact on Th1 responses is modest. For example, IFNg production in ITK knockout cells is partially inhibited while the double ITK/RLK knockout has a more severe phenotype. Evaluation of Th17 T helper cells in ITK knockout in vivo and in vitro studies demonstrated a reduction of IL17A mRNA and protein while having little impact on IL17F. The role of ITK in cytotoxic CD8+ T cells was investigated using ITK knockout mice. Stimulation of CD8+ T cells deficient in ITK results in a reduction in activation of PLCg1, ERK and p38 MAPK and loss of Ca2+ response resulting in decreased proliferative response and effector cytokine production (IL2, IL4 and IFNg) while not impacting cytolytic capacity of these cells. In addition to the defects observed in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, natural killer T cell development and TCR stimulated response is reduced in ITK knockout cells and animals.

Rodent genetic knockout studies reflect the impact of enzyme expression, not necessarily its catalytic activity, on biological responses. As ITK, through its multiple domain structure, has a role in scaffolding, in addition to its catalytic role. It is important to delineate the impact of blocking each of these functions on cellular biology. Kinase activity-independent ITK activities include recruitment of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor VAV to the cell membrane associated with actin polymerization (PH and SH2 domain dependent), antigen receptor stimulation, and receptor activation of SRF. However, ITK knockout mice expressing an ITK kinase domain deleted transgene demonstrated that the kinase domain is essential for induction of a normal Th2 response.

The relationship between ITK expression and activity and human disease has recently been documented in studies characterizing individuals exhibiting mutations in the gene encoding this protein and or correlation between expression and disease. The ITK gene was found to be elevated in peripheral blood T cells from patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, a Th2 driven chronic inflammatory skin disease. An investigation of disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in seasonal allergic rhinitis identified ITK as a significant risk factor. A human primary immunodeficiency was uncovered in siblings that died from immune dysregulation resulting in lymphoproliferation following Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection. This disorder was linked to a missense (R335W) mutation in the SH2 domain of ITK resulting in structural instability and reduced steady state levels of the enzyme. The finding was confirmed and extended in studies that identified three patients harboring a C1764G nonsense mutation in ITK resulting in a premature stop codon and reduced expression and/or activity of the protein. These patients presented with EBV-positive Hodgkins Lymphoma. These two reports suggest that mutational disruption of the ITK gene in humans results in an autosomal recessive lymphoproliferative disorder and identifies this kinase as a critical modulator in T cell biology.

In addition to the human genetic data summarized above, animal models support ITK as a therapeutic target for autoimmune and inflammatory disease. ITK knockout mice demonstrate reduced airway hypersensitivity and inflammation in models of allergic asthma. In a murine model of atopic dermatitis, ITK deficient mice do not develop inflammation while ITK inhibition reduces the response in wild type mice. The ITK dependent regulation of TCR dependent Ca2+ mobilization and transcription factor induction makes it a critical factor in protecting against Influenza A and HIV infection and viral replication. ITK inhibitors have been shown to alter HIV replication at multiple stages and have the potential as effective HIV therapeutics.

From an oncology perspective, studies have demonstrated that ITK inhibitors selectively target the killing of acute lymphblastic T-cell leukemia and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma while normal T cells are minimally impacted. ITK is highly expressed in transformed T-cell lines relative to normal T cells and other cancer cell lines. The impact of ITK inhibition on T cell tumors was confirmed in mouse xenograph models. Cancer evasion of the immune system as a result of tumor antigen tolerance induction versus priming is critical for tumor survival. Tumors that develop a microenvironment that induces T cell unresponsiveness demonstrate altered T cell gene expression suggesting skewing to the Th2 phenotype. ITK inhibition will favor Th1 differentiation and could be used to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

The utility of simultaneously inhibiting signals downstream of both the T cell receptor and cytokines receptors is best exemplified by the field of organ transplantation (Halloran). Standard-of-care in the immediate post-transplant setting is to prevent immunological graft rejection by dosing with a cocktail of inhibitors that impinge on lymphocyte activation at different points. The most common drugs used in both the initial post-transplant period, as well as the discharge setting—are a calcineurin inhibitor such as Prograf or Neoral, which block TCR signaling, and an anti-metabolite, such mycophenolate mofetil or rapamycin, which block the proliferation induced downstream of cytokines such as IL-2 or IL-15. These drugs cannot be used as monotherapy, as it would require higher doses resulting in drug-specific toxicity. By using these drugs at sub-optimal doses simultaneously, synergistic immunosuppression is achieved with reduced toxicity. ITK is downstream of TCR and JAK3 is downstream of the common g chain of cytokine receptors. By virtue of covalently modifying the cysteine in the catalytic domain of both kinases, it is possible to inhibit both enzymes with a single drug and thereby synergistically inhibit the activation of T cells.

Accordingly, provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions which comprise one or more of certain compounds disclosed herein, or a derivative thereof, together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients thereof and optionally one or more other therapeutic ingredients. The excipient(s) must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. Proper formulation of the pharmaceutical composition is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. Any of the well-known techniques and excipients may be used as suitable and as understood in the art. The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein may be manufactured in any manner known in the art, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or compression processes.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with embodiments herein can be formulated in conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable excipients.

When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds can be administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical arts, and can be administered by a variety of routes, depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and upon the area to be treated. Administration of the disclosed compounds or compositions may be oral, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarticular, and intramedullary), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal or intranasal), intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intradural, transmucosal, transdermal, rectal, topical (including dermal, buccal, sublingual and intraocular), or intravaginal administration. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular or injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions for topical administration may include foams, transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, solutions, fluid emulsions, fluid suspensions, semi-solids, pastes, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable. Coated condoms, gloves and the like may also be useful. In some embodiments, the compounds can be contained in such formulations pharmaceutical compositions with pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, fillers, disintegrants, binders, lubricants, surfactants, hydrophobic vehicles, water soluble vehicles, emulsifiers, buffers, humectants, moisturizers, solubilizers, preservatives and the like. The artisan can refer to various pharmacologic references for guidance.

In some embodiments, a method of treating an ITK mediated disease comprises administering a compound or a pharmaceutical composition of embodiments disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the compound is in a therapeutically effective amount. In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective amount is an amount disclosed herein.

Some embodiments disclosed herein also include pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds disclosed herein in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients).

In some embodiments, a method of making a pharmaceutical composition comprises mixing the active ingredient with an excipient, diluting the active ingredient using an excipient, or enclosing the active ingredient within a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the pharmaceutical compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.

Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose, including eutectic solvents, eutectic-based ionic liquids, or ionic liquids. The pharmaceutical compositions can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.

The pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated in a unit dosage form. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. The compositions include those suitable for oral, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarticular, and intramedullary), intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intradural, transmucosal, transdermal, rectal, intranasal, topical (including, for example, dermal, buccal, sublingual and intraocular), intravitreal, or intravaginal administration although the most suitable route may depend upon for example the condition and disorder of the recipient. The composition could include those suitable for administration by depot injections or by implants. The composition could include those suitable for administration by inhalation, such as, for example, a gas, vapor, or powder. The composition could include those suitable for administration, e.g., as an aerosol via a nebulizer, humidifier, inhaler and vaporizer or the like. The compositions may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. Typically, these methods include the step of bringing into association a compound disclosed herein or a derivative thereof (“active ingredient”) with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired composition.

Compositions of the compounds disclosed herein suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste.

Pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include tablets, push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. Tablets may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with binders, inert diluents, or lubricating, surface active or dispersing agents. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and may be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. All compositions for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for such administration. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added. Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.

For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient can be mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid pre-formulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these pre-formulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the pharmaceutical composition so that the pharmaceutical composition can be readily subdivided into equally therapeutically effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid pre-formulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, about 0.1 to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient.

The tablets or pills of the present invention can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.

The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

The compounds may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Compositions for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The pharmaceutical compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. The compositions may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in powder form or in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example, saline or sterile pyrogen-free water, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described.

Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous (oily) sterile injection solutions of the active compounds which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the composition isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents which increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.

In addition to the pharmaceutical compositions described previously, the compounds may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting compositions may be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the compounds may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.

For buccal or sublingual administration, the pharmaceutical compositions may take the form of tablets, lozenges, pastilles, or gels formulated in conventional manner. Such compositions may comprise the active ingredient in a flavored basis such as sucrose and acacia or tragacanth.

The compounds may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or other glycerides.

Certain compounds disclosed herein may be administered topically, that is by non-systemic administration. This includes the application of a compound disclosed herein externally to the epidermis or the buccal cavity and the instillation of such a compound into the ear, eye and nose, such that the compound does not significantly enter the blood stream. In contrast, systemic administration refers to oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal and intramuscular administration.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is suitable for topical administration. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is suitable for oral administration. In some embodiments, the composition is suitable for oral, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarticular, and intramedullary), intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intradural, transmucosal, transdermal, rectal, intranasal, topical (including, for example. dermal, buccal, sublingual and intraocular), intravitreal, or intravaginal administration.

In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein may be administered ophthalmically. In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein may be administered as an ophthalmic composition. The compounds of embodiments herein may be administered as, for example, liquid preparations, including eye lotions, spray, or eye drops for topical administration. In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein may be administered as semi-solid preparations, for example, applied to the eyelid, such as cream, lotion, gel, ointment, or paste. In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein may be administered as solid dosage forms, for example, applied to the eye surface to produce modified release, such as a powder. In some embodiments, the compounds of embodiments herein are administered through devices for surgical implantation, parenteral products, (e.g., intracorneal or intravitreous products), liquids for irrigation, or the like. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprising the compounds disclosed herein are sterile and free from particulate matters. In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein may be administered by intraocular injection, intraorbital injection, or an intravitreal injection. In some embodiments, the intraocular injection may be to the anterior chamber of the eye, posterior chamber of the eye, or a combination thereof. For example, the compounds disclosed herein may be administered to the posterior intraorbital region of the eye.

In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin to the site of inflammation such as a solution, powder, fluid, emulsion, fluid suspension, semi-solid, gels, liniments, lotions, creams, ointment, paste, jelly, foam, and drops suitable for administration to the eye, ear or nose. The active ingredient for topical administration may comprise, for example, from 0.001% to 10% w/w (by weight) of the composition. In certain embodiments, the active ingredient may comprise as much as 10% w/w. In other embodiments, it may comprise less than 5% w/w. In certain embodiments, the active ingredient may comprise from 2% w/w to 5% w/w. In other embodiments, it may comprise from 0.1% to 1% w/w of the composition.

Gels for topical or transdermal administration may comprise, generally, a mixture of volatile solvents, nonvolatile solvents, and water. In certain embodiments, the volatile solvent component of the buffered solvent system may include lower (C1-C6) alkyl alcohols, lower alkyl glycols and lower glycol polymers. In further embodiments, the volatile solvent is ethanol. The volatile solvent component is thought to act as a penetration enhancer, while also producing a cooling effect on the skin as it evaporates. The nonvolatile solvent portion of the buffered solvent system is selected from lower alkylene glycols and lower glycol polymers. In certain embodiments, propylene glycol is used. The nonvolatile solvent slows the evaporation of the volatile solvent and reduces the vapor pressure of the buffered solvent system. The amount of this nonvolatile solvent component, as with the volatile solvent, is determined by the pharmaceutical compound or drug being used. When too little of the nonvolatile solvent is in the system, the pharmaceutical compound may crystallize due to evaporation of volatile solvent, while an excess may result in a lack of bioavailability due to poor release of drug from solvent mixture. The buffer component of the buffered solvent system may be selected from any buffer commonly used in the art; in certain embodiments, water is used. A common ratio of ingredients is about 20% of the nonvolatile solvent, about 40% of the volatile solvent, and about 40% water. There are several optional ingredients which can be added to the topical composition. These include, but are not limited to, chelators and gelling agents. Appropriate gelling agents can include, but are not limited to, semisynthetic cellulose derivatives (such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) and synthetic polymers, and cosmetic agents.

An eye lotion may comprise a sterile aqueous solution optionally containing a bactericide and may be prepared by methods similar to those for the preparation of drops. Lotions or liniments for application to the skin may also include an agent to hasten drying and to cool the skin, such as an alcohol or acetone, and/or a moisturizer such as glycerol or an oil such as castor oil or arachis oil.

Creams, ointments or pastes are semi-solid pharmaceutical compositions of the active ingredient for external application. They may be made by mixing the active ingredient in finely-divided or powdered form, alone or in solution or suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous fluid, with the aid of suitable machinery, with a greasy or non-greasy base. The base may comprise hydrocarbons such as hard, soft or liquid paraffin, glycerol, beeswax, a metallic soap; a mucilage; an oil of natural origin such as almond, corn, arachis, castor or olive oil; wool fat or its derivatives or a fatty acid such as steric or oleic acid together with an alcohol such as propylene glycol or a macrogel. The pharmaceutical composition may incorporate any suitable surface active agent such as an anionic, cationic or non-ionic surfactant such as a sorbitan ester or a polyoxyethylene derivative thereof. Suspending agents such as natural gums, cellulose derivatives or inorganic materials such as silicaceous silicas, and other ingredients such as lanolin, may also be included.

Drops may comprise sterile aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions and may be prepared by dissolving the active ingredient in a suitable aqueous solution of a bactericidal and/or fungicidal agent and/or any other suitable preservative, and, in certain embodiments, including a surface active agent. The resulting solution may then be clarified by filtration, transferred to a suitable container which is then sealed and sterilized by autoclaving or maintaining at 98-100° C. for half an hour. Alternatively, the solution may be sterilized by filtration and transferred to the container by an aseptic technique. Examples of bactericidal and fungicidal agents suitable for inclusion in the drops are phenylmercuric nitrate or acetate (0.002%), benzalkonium chloride (0.01%) and chlorhexidine acetate (0.01%). Suitable solvents for the preparation of an oily solution include glycerol, diluted alcohol and propylene glycol.

The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in can be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be breathed directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device can be attached to a face masks tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions can be administered orally or nasally from devices which deliver the composition in an appropriate manner.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions administered to a patient can be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. In some embodiments, these compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. In some embodiments, the pH of the compound preparations is about 3 to about 11, about 5 to about 9, about 5.5 to about 6.5, or about 5.5 to about 7.5. It will be understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.

Preferred unit dosage pharmaceutical compositions are those containing an effective dose, as herein below recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of the active ingredient.

It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the pharmaceutical compositions described above may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of pharmaceutical composition in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents.

In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective amount can vary according to, for example, the particular use for which the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound in a pharmaceutical composition can vary depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of administration. For example, the compounds can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteral administration. Some typical dose ranges for the compounds are from about 1 μg/kg to about 1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dose range is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compound selected, composition of the excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.

The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient will vary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of the patient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeutic applications, compositions can be administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications.

The active compound can be effective over a wide dosage range and can be generally administered in a therapeutically effective amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will usually be determined by a physician, according to the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.

Compounds may be administered orally or via injection at a dose of from 0.1 to 500 mg/kg per day. The dose range for adult humans is generally from 5 mg to 2 g/day. Tablets or other forms of presentation provided in discrete units may conveniently contain an amount of one or more compounds which is effective at such dosage or as a multiple of the same, for instance, units containing 5 mg to 500 mg, usually around 10 mg to 200 mg.

The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration.

The compounds can be administered in various modes, e.g. orally, topically, or by injection. The precise amount of compound administered to a patient will be the responsibility of the attendant physician. The specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the precise disorder being treated, and the severity of the indication or condition being treated. In addition, the route of administration may vary depending on the condition and its severity.

The compositions can further include one or more additional pharmaceutical agents such as a chemotherapeutic, steroid, anti-inflammatory compound, or immunosuppressant.

Combination Therapy

The compounds of the present invention can be used, alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically active compounds, to treat conditions such as those previously described above. The compound(s) of the present invention and other pharmaceutically active compound(s) can be administered simultaneously (either in the same dosage form or in separate dosage forms) or sequentially. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the present invention comprises methods for treating a condition by administering to the subject a therapeutically-effective amount of one or more compounds of the present invention and one or more additional pharmaceutically active compounds.

In an embodiment, said composition further comprises an additional pharmaceutical agent selected from a chemotherapeutic or anti-proliferative agent, antiviral, antibiotic, antihistamine, an emollient, systemic phototherapy, psoralen photochemotherapy, laser therapy, hormone replacement therapy, an anti-inflammatory agent, an immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive agent, a neurotrophic factor, an agent for treating cardiovascular disease, an agent for treating diabetes, an agent for treating immunodeficiency disorders, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present disclosure can be employed in combination therapies, that is, the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may have potential utility in combination with other therapies for the treatment of immune, inflammatory, proliferative, and allergic disorders. Examples include, but not limited, to co-administration with steroids, leukotriene antagonists, anti-histamines, anti-cancer agents, protein kinase inhibitors, cyclosporine, rapamycin, or immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Cancer cells often use immune checkpoint molecules to evade or suppress attack by the immune system. Thus, expression of immune checkpoint molecules on the surface of cancers cells prevents immune cells such as T cells from recognizing them as “foreign” or “abnormal.” Consequently, immune checkpoint inhibitors are compounds which block inhibitory immune checkpoint molecules leading to the activation of the immune system via T cell recognition.

Inhibitory checkpoint molecules have been increasingly considered as new targets for cancer immunotherapies due to the effectiveness of two checkpoint inhibitor drugs that were initially indicated for advanced melanoma—ipilimumab (e.g. YERVOY™; a monoclonal antibody that works to activate the immune system by targeting CTLA-4), and pembrolizumab (e.g. KEYTRUDA™; a humanized antibody that targets the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor). Another checkpoint inhibitor known as nivolumab (e.g. OPDIVO™) blocks the interaction between PD-1 and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) which prevents inhibition of an immune.

Any molecule capable of inhibiting one or more immune checkpoint molecules can be used in the methods disclosed herein as an additional pharmaceutical agent. Such immune checkpoint inhibitors include, without limitation, antibodies or functional fragments thereof, inhibitory polypeptides, small molecule chemical compounds, and/or inhibitory nucleic acids (such as, but not limited to, antisense oligonucleotides, small inhibitory RNAs (siRNAs), small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs), and/or catalytic nucleic acids such as ribozymes). Immune checkpoint molecules suitable for targeting by checkpoint inhibitors for use in any of the methods disclosed herein include, without limitation, one or more of the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR), B7-H3 (a.k.a. CD276; e.g., MGA271), cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4; a.k.a. CD152; e.g., ipilimumab; AGEN-1884 (Agenus), programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1; a.k.a. CD274; e.g., MDX-1105 (Bristol Myers Squibb), WBP-3155 (C-stone), LY3300054 (Eli Lilly)), programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1; a.k.a. CD279; e.g., pembrolizumab, SHR-1210 (Incyte), STI-A1110 (Sorrento), REGN2810 (Regeneron), CT-011 (pidilizumab; Curetech), PDR-001 (Novartis), BGB-A317 (BeiGene), TSR-042 (Tesaro), ENUMC-8 (Enumeral), MGD-013 (Macrogenics; bispecific antibody for PD1 and Lag3), B7-H4 (a.k.a. VTCN1), T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (TIM3; a.k.a. HAVCR2), B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator (BTLA; a.k.a. CD272), indoleamine-pyrrole 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs; e.g., lirilumab), lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3; e.g., BMS-986016), T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT; a.k.a. WUCAM and Vstm3), ILT-3, ILT-4, and/or V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA).

In some embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is an antagonistic antibody, such as, but not limited to, one or more of ipilimumab (Bristol-Myers Squibb), nivolumab (Bristol-Myers Squibb), Pembrolizumab (Merck) durvalumab (Medimmune), atezolizumab (Genentech/Roche), tremelimumab (Medimmune), and/or avelumab (Pfizer).

The compounds and pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure may be used to prevent or treat an ITK-mediated disorder by the sequential or co-administration of another pharmaceutical agent.

In certain instances, it may be appropriate to administer at least one of the compounds described herein, or a derivative thereof, in combination with another pharmaceutical agent. By way of example only, if one of the side effects experienced by a patient upon receiving one of the compounds herein is hypertension, then it may be appropriate to administer an anti-hypertensive agent in combination with the initial pharmaceutical agent. Or, by way of example only, the therapeutic effectiveness of one of the compounds described herein may be enhanced by administration of an adjuvant (i.e., by itself the adjuvant may only have minimal therapeutic benefit, but in combination with another pharmaceutical agent, the overall therapeutic benefit to the patient is enhanced). Or, by way of example only, the benefit of experienced by a patient may be increased by administering one of the compounds described herein with another pharmaceutical agent (which also includes a therapeutic regimen) that also has therapeutic benefit. By way of example only, in a treatment for diabetes involving administration of one of the compounds described herein, increased therapeutic benefit may result by also providing the patient with another pharmaceutical agent for diabetes. In any case, regardless of the disease, disorder or condition being treated, the overall benefit experienced by the patient may simply be additive of the two pharmaceutical agents or the patient may experience a synergistic benefit.

Thus, in another aspect, certain embodiments provide methods for treating ITK-mediated disorders in a human or animal subject in need of such treatment comprising administering to said subject an amount of a compound disclosed herein effective to reduce or prevent said disorder in the subject, in combination with at least one additional agent for the treatment of said disorder that is known in the art. In a related aspect, certain embodiments provide therapeutic compositions comprising at least one compound disclosed herein in combination with one or more additional agents for the treatment of ITK-mediated disorders.

In another embodiment, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more compounds of the present invention, one or more additional pharmaceutically active compounds, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

In another embodiment, the one or more additional pharmaceutically active compounds is selected from the group consisting of anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-atherosclerotic drugs, immunosuppressive drugs, immunomodulatory drugs, cytostatic drugs, anti-proliferative agents, angiogenesis inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, cytokine blockers and inhibitors of cell adhesion molecules.

In another embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions can further include one or more additional pharmaceutical agents such as a chemotherapeutic, steroid, anti-inflammatory compound, or immunosuppressant.

ITK inhibitor compositions described herein are also optionally used in combination with other therapeutic reagents that are selected for their therapeutic value for the condition to be treated. In general, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein and, in embodiments where combinational therapy is employed, other agents do not have to be administered in the same pharmaceutical composition, and, because of different physical and chemical characteristics, are optionally administered by different routes. The initial administration is generally made according to established protocols, and then, based upon the observed effects, the dosage, modes of administration and times of administration subsequently modified. In certain instances, it is appropriate to administer a ITK inhibitor composition as described herein in combination with another therapeutic agent. By way of example only, if one of the side effects experienced by a patient upon receiving a ITK inhibitor composition as described herein is rash, then it is appropriate to administer an anti-histamine agent in combination with the initial therapeutic agent. Or, by way of example only, the therapeutic effectiveness of a ITK inhibitor is enhanced by administration of another therapeutic agent (which also includes a therapeutic regimen) that also has therapeutic benefit. In any case, regardless of the disease, disorder or condition being treated, the overall benefit experienced by the patient is either simply additive of the two therapeutic agents or the patient experiences a synergistic benefit.

Therapeutically effective dosages vary when the drugs are used in treatment combinations. Methods for experimentally determining therapeutically effective dosages of drugs and other agents for use in combination treatment regimens are documented methodologies. Combination treatment further includes periodic treatments that start and stop at various times to assist with the clinical management of the patient. In any case, the multiple therapeutic agents (one of which is a ITK inhibitor as described herein) are administered in any order, or even simultaneously. If simultaneously, the multiple therapeutic agents are optionally provided in a single, unified form, or in multiple forms (by way of example only, either as a single pill or as two separate pills).

In some embodiments, one of the therapeutic agents is given in multiple doses, or both are given as multiple doses. If not simultaneous, the timing between the multiple doses optionally varies from more than zero weeks to less than twelve weeks.

In addition, the combination methods and compositions are not to be limited to the use of only two agents, the use of multiple therapeutic combinations are also envisioned. It is understood that the dosage regimen to treat, prevent, or ameliorate the condition(s) for which relief is sought, is optionally modified in accordance with a variety of factors. These factors include the disorder from which the subject suffers, as well as the age, weight, sex, diet, and medical condition of the subject. Thus, the dosage regimen actually employed varies widely, in some embodiments, and therefore deviates from the dosage regimens set forth herein.

The pharmaceutical agents which make up the combination therapy disclosed herein are optionally a combined dosage form or in separate dosage forms intended for substantially simultaneous administration. The pharmaceutical agents that make up the combination therapy are optionally also administered sequentially, with either agent being administered by a regimen calling for two-step administration. The two-step administration regimen optionally calls for sequential administration of the active agents or spaced-apart administration of the separate active agents. The time period between the multiple administration steps ranges from, a few minutes to several hours, depending upon the properties of each pharmaceutical agent, such as potency, solubility, bioavailability, plasma half-life and kinetic profile of the pharmaceutical agent. Circadian variation of the target molecule concentration is optionally used to determine the optimal dose interval.

In another embodiment, a ITK inhibitor is optionally used in combination with procedures that provide additional or synergistic benefit to the patient.

General Synthetic Methods for Preparing Compounds

Compounds of the present invention can be prepared using methods illustrated in general synthetic schemes and experimental procedures detailed below. General synthetic schemes and experimental procedures are presented for purposes of illustration and are not intended to be limiting. Starting materials used to prepare compounds of the present invention are commercially available or can be prepared using routine methods known in the art. Representative procedures for the preparation of compounds of the invention are outlined in Schemes 1 and 2 below. Solvents and reagents, whose synthetic preparations are not described below, can be purchased at Sigma-Aldrich or Fisher Scientific.

Scheme 1 highlights the general synthesis of the 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolopyrimidines and pyrrolopyridines. Protection of 1a as a 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl (SEM) amine is carried out with SEM chloride and a strong base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as DMF or THE which provides 1b. Suzuki or related transition metal mediated coupling of 1b with the desired R3 group as the boronate ester or other coupling partner using a transition metal catalyst such as [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloroplalladium (II) (Pd(dppf)Cl2) in the presence of a weak base such as potassium carbonate in dioxane/water as the solvent mixture provides 1c. In some cases, the R3 group may be further modified after the coupling reaction by methods known to those skilled in the art. Further illustration of incorporating the desired R3 groups into the heterocyclic core are shown in Schemes 6-8. An amino-heterocycle may be added to 1c via nucleophilic aromatic substitution under thermal conditions in the presence of potassium hydroxide in dioxane/water to give 1d. Deprotection of the carbamate and SEM ether may be accomplished by treating 1d with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in methylene chloride to give 1e. Treating 1e with acrylic acid and a peptide coupling agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) in the presence of a weak base such as diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) in DMF or reaction with acryloyl chloride in the presence of a tertiary amine base such as triethyl amine in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran provides acrylamide 1f.

Scheme 2 highlights the general synthesis of 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolopyrimidines and pyrrolopyridines. Protection of 1a as a 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl (SEM) amine is carried out with SEM chloride and a strong base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as DMF or THE which provides 2a. Suzuki or related coupling of 1b with the desired R3 group as the boronate ester using as palladium catalyst such as [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloroplalladium (II) (Pd(dppf)Cl2) in the presence of a weak base such as potassium carbonate in dioxane/water as the solvent mixture provides 2b. In some cases, the R3 group may be further modified after the coupling reaction by methods know to those skilled in the art. An amino-heterocycle is added to 2b by nucleophilic aromatic substitution via thermal conditions in the presence of potassium hydroxide in dioxane/water to give 2c. Deprotection of the carbamate and SEM ether is accomplished by treating 2c with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in methylene chloride to give 2d. Treating 2d with acrylic acid and a peptide coupling agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) in the presence of a weak base such as diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) in DMF or reaction with acryloyl chloride in the presence of a tertiary amine base such as triethyl amine in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran provides acrylamide 2e.

Scheme 3 highlights the general synthesis the 3-ester 4-substituted pyrrolopyrimidines and pyrrolopyridines. The amino-heterocycle is added to 3a using thermal conditions in the presence of potassium carbonate in dioxane/water to give 3b. Deprotection of the carbamate is accomplished by treating 3b with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in methylene chloride to give 3c. Treating 3c with acrylic acid and a peptide coupling agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) in the presence of a weak base such as diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) in DMF provides acrylamide 3d. Alternatively, 3c may be acylated using acryloyl chloride in the presence of a weak base such as triethylamine in dichloromethane to give 3d.

Scheme 4 highlights the general synthesis the 3-ester 4-substituted pyrrolopyrimidines and pyrrolopyridines. The amino-heterocycle is added to 3a via nucleophilic aromatic substitution under thermal conditions in the presence of potassium carbonate in dioxane/water to give 4a. Deprotection of the carbamate is accomplished by treating 4a with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in methylene chloride to give 4b. Treating 4b with acrylic acid and a peptide coupling agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) in the presence of a weak base such as diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) in DMF provides acrylamide 4c. Alternatively, 4b may be acylated using acryloyl chloride in the presence of a weak base such as triethylamine in dichloromethane to give 4c.

Scheme 5 highlights the general synthesis of the 3,5-disubstituted pyrrolopyrimidines and pyrrolopyrazines. Protected 5a is synthesized as in Scheme 1. Suzuki or related coupling of 5a with the desired R3 group as the boronate ester using as palladium catalyst such as [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloroplalladium (II) (Pd(dppf)Cl2) in the presence of a weak base such as potassium carbonate in dioxane/water as the solvent mixture provides 5b. In some cases, the R3 group may be further modified after the coupling reaction by methods know to those skilled in the art. The amino-heterocycle is added to 5b using Buchwald or Hartwig conditions in the presence palladium acetate as a catalyst, a ligand such as Xantphos, a base such as cesium carbonate in toluene to give 5c. Deprotection of the carbamate and SEM protecting groups\ is accomplished by treating 5c with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in methylene chloride followed by sodium acetate in ethanol to give 5d. Treating 5d with acrylic acid and a peptide coupling agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) in the presence of a weak base such as diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) in DMF provides acrylamide 5e. The sequence of adding the R3 and R5 substituents may be reversed. In this case, the amino-heterocycle is added to 5f using Buchwald or Hartwig conditions in the presence palladium acetate as a catalyst, a ligand such as Xantphos, and a base such as cesium carbonate in toluene to give 5g. Halogenation of 5g with NBS in DMF provides bromo 5h. Suzuki or related coupling of 5h with the desired R3 group as the boronate ester using as palladium catalyst such as [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloroplalladium (II) (Pd(dppf)Cl2) in the presence of a weak base such as potassium carbonate in dioxane/water as the solvent mixture provides 5c.

Scheme 6 highlights the synthesis of selected R3 keto and alkyl groups attached to the heteroaromatic core. In this sequence, metal halogen exchange of iodo-substituted 5a (or Br) is carried out and the intermediate anion treated with the Weinreb amide of the desired R3 substituent. Following this general procedure 6a is treated with n-butyl lithium in ether at −78° C. followed by the appropriate Weinreb amide to give ketone 6b, keto-cycloalkyl 6f or keto-heterocycle 6d. If so desired these ketone products may be further manipulated. For instance, ketone 6f may be treated with methyl magnesium bromide in THE to give an intermediate alcohol which is further reduced using triethylsilane in a mixture of TFA/DCM to give alkyl 6g. Alternatively, the anion of 6a may be reacted with an aldehyde instead of a Weinreb amide to give an alcohol directly. In this case, the anion of 6a may be reacted with various aldehydes such as 6i to give alcohol 6j. The alcohol may be removed if desired using triethylsilane in a mixture of TFA/DCM to give 6k. In all cases the protecting group of 6a can be selected as desired by one skilled in the art. Often a (SEM) or besylate protecting group is preferred. The chemistry outlined in scheme 6 is meant to be representative with many more options are available to those skilled in the art.

Scheme 7 highlights the synthesis where R3 is a substituted cyclopropyl group attached to the heterocyclic core. Suzuki or a related coupling of 7a (X═Cl or OMe) with the desired R3 group as the boronate ester (7b) using as palladium catalyst such as [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloroplalladium (II) (Pd(dppf)Cl2) in the presence of a weak base such as potassium carbonate in dioxane/water as the solvent mixture provides 7c. Cyclopropanation of 7c can be accomplished via a variety of methods, including CH2I2 and Et2Zn, TMSCF3 with NaI, and NMU KOH and Pd(OAc)2 to give the desired substituted cyclopropyl 7d. In many cases the R or R3-1 substituent may be modified by conventional procedures as those known in the art.

Scheme 8 highlights the synthesis where R3 is a substituted cycloalkyl group off the heteroaromatic core. Suzuki or a related coupling of 6a with the desired R3 group as the boronate ester (8a) using as palladium catalyst such as [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloroplalladium (II) (Pd(dppf)Cl2) in the presence of a weak base such as potassium carbonate in dioxane/water as the solvent mixture provides 8b. Hydrogenation of 8b using hydrogen, Pd/C in a solvent such as ethanol provides 8c. Alternatively, 8b may be treated with CH2I2 and Et2Zn under Simmons-Smith conditions to form the bicyclic analog 8d.

The disclosure is further illustrated by the following examples.

The title compounds were prepared by the methods described in Scheme 29.

Step 1: Preparation of 4-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde

To a stirred solution of 4-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (10 g, 15.02 mmol) in water (80 mL), was added hexamethylenetetramine (10.7 g, 76.53 mmol) and acetic acid (20 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and poured into water. The precipitated solid was filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuum to provide 4-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde as a pale yellow solid (9.8 g, 86% yield): MS (ES) m/z 225.0 (M+H).

Step 2: Preparation of 4-bromo-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde

A suspension of sodium hydride (2.16 g, 45.19 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (80 mL) was treated with 4-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (8 g, 22.59 mmol) at 0° C. The suspension was stirred at ambient temperature for 0.5 hours and then (2-chloromethoxyethyl)trimethylsilane (6 mL, 33.88 mmol) was added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for another 2 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with ice and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified using flash chromatography (5% ethyl acetate/hexane) to provide 4-bromo-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde as a viscous oil (7 g, 55% yield): MS (ES) m/z 355.0 (M+H).

Step 3: Preparation of 4-bromo-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-3-vinyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine

Potassium tert-butoxide (1.89 g, 16.94 mmol) was added to a stirred suspension of methyltriphenylphosphoniumbromide (6 g, 16.94 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) at 0° C. and the resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 hours.

Biological Activity Assay

ITK Inhibitor Binding Potency

The ability of candidate compounds to interact with ITK is quantitated by a competitive binding assay using the LanthaScreen technology developed by Life Technologies. This assay is based on the binding of a proprietary, Alexa Fluor® 647-labeled, ATP-competitive kinase inhibitor (kinase tracer-236) to the ITK expression construct in the presence of a Europium-conjugated antibody, resulting in a FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) signal. Displacement of the kinase tracer by compound results in a lower emission ratio upon excitation of the Europium chelate. Candidate compounds are designed as potential irreversible inhibitors of ITK, capable of ligating to an active site cysteine residue resulting in time dependent covalent binding. The time dependent nature of irreversible inhibition is investigated by performing the binding assay with and without a pre-incubation of compound and ITK. An increase in potency in the pre-incubated assay suggests the candidate compound could be irreversibly modifying ITK or having a slowly reversible mechanism. The inhibitory potency of candidate compounds is measured in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% BSA, 0.0005% Tween-20, and 2% DMSO in the presence of 10 nM ITK, 2 nM Eu-anti-GST antibody, and 50 nM kinase tracer-236 using a 384-well plate format. Background signal is defined in the absence of ITK and uninhibited signal is defined in the presence of vehicle (2% DMSO) alone. Compounds were evaluated in an 11 point dose-response ranging from 20 uM to 0.34 nM. The binding assays are performed under two preincubation conditions to evaluate time dependence of inhibition. For the pre-incubation assay, ITK and Eu-anti-GST antibody are pre-incubated with compound or vehicle for two hours prior to the addition of kinase tracer. The non-preincubated assay is run under conditions where ITK and Eu-anti-GST antibody are added to a mixture of compound and kinase tracer. IC50 values of compounds are determined using a 4 parameter logistical fit of emission ratio as a function of the concentration of compound.

ITK Inhibitor Binding Kinetics

To obtain a better understanding of the kinetics of binding by inhibitor compounds to ITK, association and dissociation experiments were performed. Using the same TR-FRET buffer and conditions as described above, the kinetic rate constants for the binding of KT-236 to ITK were initially determined. Once knowing the association (kon) and dissociation (koff) rates of KT-236 binding, the binding kinetics for these candidate compounds could be further elucidated. The dissociation rates were determined by pre-incubating ITK for two hours with various concentrations of the candidate compounds. After this period of time, excess (200 nM final) KT-236 was added to the incubation and the resulting increase in fluorescence followed for approximately four hours. For the association rates, ITK was pre-incubated with KT-236 (50 nM) for 90-120 minutes and then various concentrations of candidate compound added. The resulting decrease in signal was then evaluated for the next two hours. Data from both sets of time course experiments was then analyzed using Dynafit software to obtain the kinetic rate constants (kon, koff, kinact, Ki) utilizing multiple reaction models.

ITK Target Modulation Assay

Target modulation was based upon the ability of a compound to inhibit ITK phosphorylation of its substrate, PLCγ1, at Y783.

After fasting, with free access to water sixteen hours prior to test, animals are dosed orally (1 mL) with test compounds in a vehicle containing 0.5% methylcellulose and 0.025% surfactant. The control group is dosed with vehicle alone.

One hour after dosing, a subplantar injection of 0.1 mL of 1% solution of carrageenan/sterile 0.9% saline is administered in one foot, to all animals. The volume of the injected foot is measured using a displacement plethysmometer. Foot volume is measured again three hours after carrageenan injection. The three hour foot volume measurement is compared between treated and control groups; the percent inhibition of edema is calculated.

Anti-inflammatory Efficacy—Rat Carrageenan-Induced Analgesia Test: The compounds of the present disclosure will be evaluated for efficacy in vivo in a model of inflammatory analgesia. Methods to determine efficacy in rat carrageenan-induced analgesia test are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,760,068.

Male Sprague Dawley rats are selected for equal average body weight per group. After fasting, with free access to water sixteen hours prior to test, animals are dosed orally (1 mL) with test compounds in vehicle containing 0.5% methylcellulose and 0.025% surfactant. Control groups are dosed with vehicle alone.

One hour after dosing, a subplantar injection of 0.1 mL of 1% solution of carrageenan/sterile 0.9% saline is administered in one foot, to all animals. Three hours after carrageenan injection, rats are placed in a plexiglass container with a high intensity lamp under the floor. After twenty minutes, thermal stimulation is begun on either the injected or the uninjected foot. Foot withdrawal is determined by a photoelectric cell. The time until foot withdrawal is measured and compared between treated and control groups. The percent inhibition of the hyperalgesic foot withdrawal is calculated.

Efficacy in Collagen-Induced Arthritis: The compounds of the present disclosure will be evaluated in a mouse autoimmune model of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods to determine efficacy in collagen-induced arthritis in the mouse are described by Grimstein, et al. (2011) J. Translational Med. 9, 1-13.

Six week-old male DBA/1J mice are obtained from The Jackson Laboratory. At eight weeks of age, mice are orally administered test compounds daily. Mice are immunized by intradermal injection, at twelve weeks of age, with 0.1 mL of emulsion containing 100 g of bovine type II collagen (bCII). At 21 days following immunization, mice are boosted with 0.1 mL of bCII (100 g) emulsified in equal volume of incomplete Freund's Adjuvant (IFA) (Difco, Detroit, MI). All mice are monitored three times for the incidence of arthritis and evaluation of a clinical score, ranging from 0-4 was used (0: no swelling or redness; 1: detectable arthritis with erythema; 2: significant swelling and redness; 3: severe swelling and redness from joint to digit; 4: joint stiffness or deformity with ankylosis). The score is calculated from the average cumulative value of all four paws. Severe arthritis is defined as a score >3.

For terminal evaluation of arthritis, mice are euthanized 28 days after initial immunization. The two hind limbs are removed, fixed in formalin, decalcified in RDO solution (Apex Engineering, Aurora, IL) for 10-20 min depending on tissue size and examined for pliability. Sections are cut (4 m thick) and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Histological evaluation is performed by examining for infiltration of immune cells, hyperplasia, pannus formation and bone deformation for each paw, using a scale ranging from 0-3, according to severity of pathological changes (0: normal, 1: mild, 2: moderate, 3: severe).
